Government programs to give iron folic acid(IFA) tablets for pregnant women have not increased their awareness, as only 33,3% of them consume IFA ≥ 90 tablets during their pregnancy (RISKESDAS, 2013).

This study is a descriptive quantitative methods using cross-sectional design. Total sample is 50 pregnant women who were selected based on inclusion

In the meantime, their compliance in taking IFA tablets based on gravidity were 50% in primigravida and 53 % in multigravida pregnancy, compliance in taking Vitamin C tablets based on

Based on the result, it can be concluded that half of the pregnant women complied in taking IFA, only a small number taking Vitamin C tablets.
